Canada: 1867 to the Present

Class Participation in a Writing Class
This class is designated as a (W) writing class and counts towards SFU’s Writing and Breadth requirements. As such the tutorials will often have writing assignments that will be done in class or need to be handed in during class. Regular attendance, regular participation and evidence of regular reading are the criteria for the participation grade. If you come to every tutorial but do not participate, the best grade you can expect is a C-. All work done in tutorials must be done at the time. There is no way to make up in class assignments if you are not there. If there is a health or some other sort of emergency, your TA can make an exception under exceptional circumstances.

COURSE-LEVEL EDUCATIONAL GOALS:

Assignments encourage students to evaluate readings and present information to each other, with the goal of providing practice in the reading, writing, and research skills of the historical profession. Understanding the context of Canadian history post confederation and being able to apply this to understanding their larger world is an additional goal as the History department is committed to having students learn how to understand the past, to make sense of the present, and to shape the future.
